Sir Clive Woodward is known for his unique methods of coaching/training. 'He took preparation and tactics to a new level, using all the latest technology and training methods.

He was a very good innovator and came up with ideas such as ice baths for the players after a game to prevent lactic acid, he also thought it was a good idea for all of the players to see a psychiatrist as he believes that mental strength is just as important as physical strength he says 'the mind is a very powerful part of sport.. Everyone else thought that this wasn't very good ideas but Sir Clive stuck to them anyway. This shows that he is a good coach as it is important to be a good innovator, as it will help improve the team's performance. For example England's tour of 1998 was dubbed 'the tour of hell' and included a record 76-0 defeat by Australia.

Woodward thoroughly modernised England's preparation and approach. His style was unusual and prompted.

'One of the most important skills for me in rugby is discipline.'

This shows that Sir Clive is a very organised an efficient coach, because he disciplines his team they will be more organised in a game which will produce higher results. He is also efficient when it comes to things happening on the pitch during a game. He is able to think clearly, under pressure and make the right decisions. He is also very well prepared as he is 'always preparing for the next match', and so is preparing all the time. He spends a lot of time watching videos of the opposition and spend more time analysing every aspect of their opponents.

Sir Clive is also a very good motivator and believes in his team. 'another thing I firmly believe in is making leaders out of great players.' which shows that Sir Clive gives the players confidence to be a leader as well as a player.

Sir Clive is very determined and sets targets for himself and the team. 'my only goal when I took over was for England to be the best team in the world'. And in 2003 he reached that goal in 2003 when England won the world cup.
